Welcome to the Rocketballz Stage 2

Loft Technology

The Rocketballz Stage 2 (RBZ2) has a number of features that make it very popular with golfers. But the one that makes it really stand apart is something called Loft Technology.

Loft Technology enables golfers to change the loft angle of the club. You use an included torque wrench to remove the head of the RocketBallz driver and re-attach it in any one of three settings to change the face angle and effective loft of the club.

How to Adjust the Loft Angle

It’s rather simple to do. You simply loosen the loft screw in the club heel using the wrench, then turn the sleeve (which is marked with your loft degree choices) to line up to the arrow on the back of the hosel. Then tighten the screw using the included wrench and you’re ready to go.

At TaylorMadeGolf.com, your can read reviews on the club by those who have purchased it, like this one: “I got the 10.5 model and immediately adjusted it up high to make it 12 degrees. Adjustment was simple and quick.”

A few degrees may not seem like a big difference, but it can be when you’re talking about hitting a golf ball. And for the millions of us who have trouble with a driver, having a few different options available within one driver can be a helpful option off the tee.

You can buy the RBZ2 in one of seven standard and five upright loft options to add ±1.5° to each of the available standard lofts: 9.5 (which can be adjusted up to 11° or down to 8°); 10.5° (which can be adjusted up to 12° or down to 9°); and HL 13° (which can be adjusted up to 14.5° or down to 11.5).

In a discussion with golfequipment.com, Tom Olsavsky, TaylorMade’s senior director of product creation, said “We’re finding a big difference with Stage 2. We’re getting higher launch, less spin, and more speed. That translates to more distance.”

The Stage 2 launches the ball about 1° higher and produces about 300-400 rpm less spin. Olsavsky further states that the improved center of gravity (CG) positioning helps make the RocketBallz Stage 2 anywhere from 7 to 10 yards longer than the original.

Other Features of the RBZ2

TaylorMade claims 80% of golfers are playing the wrong loft, hence the need for a club like the RBZ2. Swing consistency is a problem for many amateur golfers, especially with a driver. The RBZ2 has other features besides the loft technology that aim to help achieve that consistency. These include:

• Expansive 4,100 square-millimeter clubface gives the golfer substantially more face area
• Inverted Cone Technology milled into the inner side of the larger clubface expands the portion of the face that delivers high ball speed
• Improved aerodynamics reduces drag over the head to promote faster clubhead speed
• Thick-Thin crown provides lower and more-forward CG location, promoting faster ball speed, high launch, and low spin

Another new feature: the crown features a unique yellow-and-gray decal designed to make it easier to frame the ball opposite the center of the clubface, and easier to detect exactly how the clubhead is aimed to give you confidence that the face is aligned exactly the way you want it before you start your takeaway.

When golfers first see the head, they’re admittedly skeptical. But the majority of reviews say that once they hit the club, it’s not a problem at all.

The RBZ Stage 2 driver will also be available in a Tour model. Apart from a different stock shaft (Matrix 6Q3 or 7Q3 TP), the primary difference is the placement of weight. The standard model is designed with a slight draw bias, while the Tour model has a neutrally placed center of gravity.

But like any new club, you shouldn’t make your purchase decision based solely on reviews. You need to go out, hit it, and see how it feels.

The Taylormade RBZ Black Driver has been around for a few years now and although there are more expensive models on the market there is still a deep fascination for this highly reviewed golf club.

It is clear that this golf club is still one of the best performing drivers off the tee and even in 2020 sales of this product are still very strong with many golfers still using this secret weapon on the golf course.

The sheer versatility and forgiveness of the club have made it a firm favorite with both beginners and low handicappers alike whereas club pros still use this driver because of the numerous benefits including adjustable loft and high-quality 460cc titanium club head which delivers tremendous power and control to compete with the best.

There seems to be an increase in demand for the TaylorMade RBZ Black Driver with more golfers keen to reach out and ask whether this club is still relevant in 2020 and what advantages it has over rival products from competitors like Ping, Wilson Golf, Cobra and Cleveland?

In this thorough review, we will address questions golfers have and include a full breakdown of the club including technical specs, features, design, performance and what type of golfer should consider the club as the #1 driver in their golf bag.

With feedback from over 100 golfers and our own TaylorMade RBZ Black Driver review delving deep into all characteristics of the club, we will hopefully put an end to all the debate surrounding the product and give the best possible information that you can use in your decision-making process.

Everyone knows that TaylorMade produces superb golf clubs but does the RBZ offer good value for money whilst still delivering high performance on the fairway and giving you confidence on the address that you crave for? Let’s kick-off by analyzing some important features of the club.

Features & Performance

When deciding on a new driver it’s vital to take an in-depth look at the features that set it apart from rivals. After all, the driver is probably one of the most important clubs in the golf bag because when you hit a good drive, it gives your confidence a real boost for the rest of the round.

Why is this driver better than that product x and how would this feature help my own golf game? Let’s breakdown features and performance of the TaylorMade RBZ Black Driver by splitting this section into three parts: clubhead, shaft and grip.

Clubhead

The clubhead on the RBZ is made from high-quality titanium and not the cheap Ti-alloy that you often see on other cheap golf drivers. For an under $200 club, we are impressed with the build quality of the 460cc sized head which we found to be responsive when striking the golf ball from the tee.

The head is also adjustable (tool included with the club) so there is no fear of taking it out on the driving range and being disappointed with the launch angle.

Some golfers also prefer to have custom weight settings on the clubhead and although the TaylorMade RBZ Black Driver does not have this feature we found the weight transference and overall swing speed to be very good.

In short, this club will suit 95% of golfers who want a well balanced but powerful clubhead they can trust on the golf course.

Clubhead Performance: The titanium core also spreads out weight transference to the edge of the clubhead which boosts speed and delivers a near-perfect trajectory on launch.

This even spread raises the forgiveness of the club which gives the golfer greater confidence when teeing off. This head is well balanced and sits beautifully on the Matrix White tie 55 shaft.

Finally, there is an attractive head cover included so you can keep the RBZ well protected from the other clubs in the bag. It covers both the titanium head and the top part of the shaft.

Replacements can also be purchased online if you wanted to keep a spare.

Shaft

There seems to be some confusion on what shaft the Taylormade RBZ Black Driver club has fitted. We can confirm that the graphite Matrix White Tie 55 Flex shaft is the current 2020 model used and is available in either stiff, senior or regular flex options. Graphite shafts are used in the modern premium driver as oppose to steel because they are both lightweight and offer improved power through the air.

Some golfers complain that graphite shafts are less durable and need replacing more often but this 55 flex shaft has good feedback and should last a number of years.

The Matrix White Tie 55, as used on the RBZ driver is also excellent at reducing shock and vibration on impact – which, for seniors or golfers who suffer persistent injuries can be beneficial in helping to reduce stress on the wrist and hand areas.

Flex: When picking a flex for your shaft you should take into consideration your consistent golf speed swing. Every time you swing the club through the air the shaft flexes to some degree and you should always take time to think about which flex rating you should pick for your RBZ Black Driver.

Generally speaking, the quicker you hit the ball the stiffer the flex you should select. Older players should pick the “senior” flex if their swing is below 95MPH. Good golfers can opt for the stiff flex which produces the least flex tolerance whilst beginners and high handicappers will be fine with the standard regular flex. The Men’s Black RBZ is also available in both right and left handed options.

Shaft Performance: The Matrix White Tie 55 on the RBZ is an excellent mid-level graphite shaft and stands up to rival clubs in this range.

With multiple flex options and the way it seamlessly integrates with both clubhead and grip there is no reason at all why you would not be happy with this shaft.

Grip

Taylormade Rbz Driver Adjustment Chart

Perhaps one of the most underrated features of the golf club is the grip. The grip on the Taylormade RBZ Black Driver is made from high quality textured rubber that looks great in black and gold.

Rubber grips are rated the best on drivers but are not as durable as corded grips so make sure you regularly replace your rubber grip after around 50 rounds of golf or every 12 months.

The grip size on the RBZ is the standard 0.620 but it always pays to go and see a golf fitting specialist who can advise on the proper size and thickness of a driver grip that you should be using.

Grip performance: Hands feel very secure and tight when holding the club. There is no slip at all on the golf swing and the standard size grip will suit most golfers.

Who Would Benefit from Using this Club

The are several diffrent group types that this club would help improve their game. Golfers who can hit the ball fast will benefit from the large 460cc club face because the Ultralite Titanium core utlizies TaylorMade Speed Pocket Design which is how the clubhead is shaped in order to give better spin control and extra distance on long drives.

Older players will appreciate the light, graphite shaft and if you are a senior golfer, opt for the senior flex which is the highest-rated flex – this enables the club to “whip” through the air quicker and to be more forgiving with mis-hit shots still getting good yardage on the fairway.

For pros and low handicapped golfers, you probably already have a premium driver but with the Taylormade RBZ Black Driver, you can adjust the loft on the clubhead which is advantageous when you are playing on different types of golf courses such as links, parkland or desert.

FAQs

Question: How does the loft adjustment work on the TaylorMade RBZ Black Driver?
Answer: There is a “click” dial just below the clubhead that indicates the loft angle. It starts at 10.5 degrees and moves in increments of 1.5 degrees. We suggest you take the club to the driving range and test which loft setting is best for your golf swing. The multiple loft settings are a big plus on this driver and it gets very good feedback from players.

Question: How do I tell what flex rating I have on my club?
Answer: If you look at the top of the shaft there is some small initial inside the “octagon” shape. For this club, there are 3 different flex ratings and choose the flex you want on the order.
The letter R = regular flex (most golfers choose this) / S = stiff flex (NOT senior flex) and finally if you order the senior rated flex you should see an “M” (mature) on your shaft.

Question: I’m the average height of 5″10″ – is the club the right length for me?
Answer: Modern clubs are designed to fit a large band of heights. You can use the standard club for your height. Golfers who are 6ft plus have no issues using the standard shaft length for the TaylorMade RBZ.

Question: How old is this model and how does it compete against its competitors?
Answer: The model currently on sale is the 2018-2019 version and is still an extremely popular and one of the best selling drivers in the US today. For a club that matches the Taylor Made RBZ Black Driver on performance, durability, loft selection and forgiveness you would have to pay around $400. This club is around half that price.

RBZ Black Driver Conclusion – Any Good?

This brings to a close our TaylorMade RBZ Black Driver Review and if you take everything into consideration including build quality, performance on the fairway, price and design aesthetics then overall, this is a superb golf club that can be used by newbie and seasoned experienced golfers alike.

It’s a solid all-round performer that can compete with the best graphite drivers on the market today and although it’s not the newest it can definitely hold its own against rivals from Ping, Nike, Cleveland Golf and Cobra.

We really liked the custom loft controls (with free torque wrench) and outstanding titanium 460CC clubhead (no cheap rubbish here!) that has an ultra-thin covering for maximum lift off the tee, decent spin control and reasonable forgiveness that will appeal to those of us that sometimes don’t hit a straight ball as often as we would like.

As we touched on at the start of this review, this club has wide appeal because of the large range of flex settings, attractive black, gold and white design and high-quality cover – when you add to this a high quality shaft, grip and clubhead backed up by knowing you are buying from one the leading golf brands in the US it all adds to a Premium Golf Driver for a price that’s simply too hard to ignore.
